In a remarkable act of civic responsibility, a bride-to-be from Virar, set an inspiring example by casting her vote for Maharashtra Assembly election 2024 despite her ongoing haldi ceremony on Wednesday.
The bride-to-be, Sayali Rajendra Vartak, was busy with her wedding preparations but took time to visit the polling booth.
Sayali, who is set to get married in Rajasthan, took time out of her haldi ceremony to exercise her voting rights.
Sayali Vartak (29), a resident of Virar's Phulpada area, works in the mortgage loan department of an NBFC bank. She is getting married to Chinmay Mandawat, a stock market analyst, on November 23 in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
